Apple is doomed!!

LEADER!

That number may hit $1 billion in q3 after the iPhone's selling like hotcakes!

Unfortunately Q2 ends in June right? So apple will have one month selling iPhones in Q2 and the rest in Q3. If they would have released the iPhone in the first month of a quarter I'm willing to bet they'd go over $1 billion without difficulty!

Bet you a nickel the stock drops $3 tomorrow...

Good news never fails to drive AAPL lower!

Paul,

Why does it work that way? I have never figured it out.

It's the old Wall $treet mantra: Buy on speculation, sell on news. But tomorrow there will be a fresh round of specultion to keep AAPL up.

Can't wait to see Elmo's congratulatory post in this thread.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Ah, I love a good rib-tickler. I wouldn't see it even if he posted it.

Which, btw, he won't.

Neither will we be seeing his "guess I was wrong about Fred Anderson" post, his "SEC says Jobs did nothing wrong, I stand corrected" post, or his "What was I thinking hinting that the SEC thing would cause AAPL to drop?" post.

Elmo is the Dick Cheney of MacResource Forum. Bear that in mind next time you click on a thread with his name on it.

Stuff selling like hot cakes... No wonder apple hasn't put out the next speed bumps... getting solid sales all the same on model speeds shipping now and with processor costs much less than when C2D bumps from the CD first done.

[Silencio]

There are no speed bumps for Apple to put out at this time, except for the still-running-Core-Duo Mac mini. Intel will have something new next month which should make its way into some combination of the iMacs, MacBooks, MacBook Pros, and (presumably) Mac minis.

Would still love a mid-ranged tower running one of Intel's Conroe chips. The dream that never dies...
